This stirring biography tells the story of Daniel Baker, the great evangelist of the American South, largely in his own words. Baker (1791-1857) was one of those preachers who could not resist the call to 'preach Christ where he was not named', and wherever he went it was 'in the fulness of the blessings of the gospel of Christ'. His longest stay in one pastorate amounted to just nine years, whereas he was involved in gospel ministry for almost forty years, itinerating from Pennsylvania and Ohio, through Virginia, the Carolinas, his native Gerogia and around the southern states to Texas.
